SUMMARY:Scott Hills
DESCRIPTION:Scotty Hills is a singer-songwriter from Saskatoon whose sound blends country blues with soulful sophistication. Influenced by Marvin Gaye\, Taj Mahal\, and Gerry Rafferty\, his music weaves introspective lyrics with earthy melodies and rich arrangements. \nStarting as a drummer with alt-blues band The Perpetrators\, he co-wrote their Juno-nominated album The Gas and the Clutch. After releasing his debut solo album Wonderland Urgency\, he relocated to the West Coast and produced Year of Septembers\, leading to a publishing deal with Ole Indie and writing sessions at Westlake Studios for Rihanna. \nRaised by musician parents and shaped by weekends on the farm\, Scotty’s music reflects his roots—drawing from R&B\, country\, and classic rock. This duality shines on Nature Girl (2017)\, where traditional country meets lush R&B ballads.\nFollowing a year in Nashville\, Scotty is back on the West Coast finishing his fourth album The Great Regression and preparing for a UK tour. He currently lives in Vancouver and is pursuing a Master’s in Music Education at UBC.

SUMMARY:Bill Frisell Trio with Thomas Morgan & Rudy Royston
DESCRIPTION:Bill Frisell’s career as a guitarist and composer has spanned more than 40 years and many celebrated recordings\, whose catalogue has been cited by Downbeat as “the best recorded output of the decade.” His first appearance at the Vancouver International Jazz Festival was in 1986\, and we’re thrilled to host his return for our 40th anniversary. \nIn the trio format he’s favoured throughout his career\, Frisell has always projected an orchestral scope — through his remarkably complete sense of harmony\, a unique gift for melodies that remain with you long after a performance\, and a keen feel for how dynamic range can be used to convey emotion. But on his new double album\, his fourth release for Blue Note Records\, he makes those symphonic evocations a reality. Produced by Lee Townsend\, Orchestras documents two inspired concert-hall engagements arranged by Michael Gibbs for Frisell’s long-standing trio with bassist Thomas Morgan and drummer Rudy Royston: one featuring the nearly 60-piece Brussels Philharmonic\, conducted by Alexander Hanson; and one with the 11-piece Umbria Jazz Orchestra\, under the musical direction of Manuele Morbidini. \nAs he’s often done over the past four decades\, Frisell uses a straightforward concept and a familiar songbook to bring about stirring revelations. To start\, these 16 tracks showcase a level of comfort and interactivity that far transcends the vast majority of “with strings” projects on the jazz record shelf. Gibbs’ sweeping\, singular orchestration\, with its shades of Gil Evans and landmark film scores\, moves nimbly within and around the trio’s telepathic rapport\, and Frisell’s shimmering trademark tone melds gorgeously with strings and brass.

SUMMARY:Forever Stories of: Moving Parties
DESCRIPTION:Cellist Peggy Lee and guitarist Cole Schmidt are composers compelled to write for improvising musicians; that is\, they conceive inspiring frameworks to bring out essential\, novel contributions from some of creative music’s most vital voices. \nTheir latest album\, Forever Stories of: Moving Parties\, features an array of international guests\, including Erika Angell\, Wayne Horvitz\, Frank Rosaly\, and Sunny Kim. Drawing on themes of change\, connection\, and the evolving nature of creative expression\, and touching on jazz\, experimental\, classical\, rock\, and noise\, they create music that’s both intentional and spontaneous. As Lee says\, “it’s about welcoming change\, blame\, mercy\, and the agency to try things differently”. \nIn this case\, their guests are artful agents JP Carter trumpet\, Meredith Bates violin\, Brian Horswill piano\, and Mili Hong drums.

SUMMARY:Thanya Iyer + Elisa Thorn
DESCRIPTION:Thanya Iyer \nMontréal’s Thanya Iyer is an enigmatic songwriter whose sparkling experimental pop music embraces mindfulness\, aesthetic beauty\, and the interconnectedness of all things. Iyer’s 2025 release\, TIDE/TIED\, expands on the future-folk of their 2020 Polaris Prize long-listed album KIND. With washes of jazz-inflected pop and ensemble ambience courtesy of Daniel Gélinas’ meditative drumming\, Pompey’s adventurous multi-instrumentalism\, and the celestial harp of Emilie Kahn\, Thanya Iyer builds a layered musical world that Pitchfork described as “a lucid daydream that’s constantly melting at its edges.” \nThanya Iyer Workshop • June 24 • Tom Lee Music Hall\nThanks to the Canada Council for the Arts. \nElisa Thorn \nKnown for her charming off-the-cuff humour and distinctly contemporary use of the instrument\, harpist/vocalist Elisa Thorn draws from indie\, jazz\, chamber pop\, and post-rock to create a meditative\, psychedelic\, and energizing sound that’s all her own. Thorn’s an insatiable collaborator in projects that include Gentle Party\, HUE\, and The Giving Shapes\, but she’s currently focusing on her solo work\, including the 2025 release of her debut album\, xiik. \nCalled “experimental folk for the bathtub\,” Elisa’s intriguing sounds have been found to be equally impactful on sinks\, basins\, and people.

SUMMARY:François Houle & Gordon Grdina with Izumi Kimura & Gerry Hemingway
DESCRIPTION:You know the old saying “it takes one to know one”? In this case\, it takes two to know two\, as a pair of long standing duos connect in empathic\, searching\, and virtuosic collaboration. \nThe creative lives of basset clarinettist François Houle and guitarist/oud player Gordon Grdina have intertwined for over twenty years\, in a wide variety of projects. As HELIOTROPE\, they tap seamlessly into global traditions\, avant-jazz\, western classical music\, and free improvisation to create “an interesting form of ‘art song’\, full of melodies that are elegantly pared down and also elaborately latticed\, with the deeply haunting oud quarter tones providing both a sense of solace and gravitas” (Jazzwise). \nIrish-based Japanese pianist Izumi Kimura and US-born\, Switzerland-based drummer/vocalist/vibraphonist Gerry Hemingway began working as a duo in 2016 developing their shared language through a series of residencies and performances in Ireland (as well developing further in a trio context with bassist Barry Guy). A refined language of formal structures\, spontaneous invention\, and unique interpretations of song was presented in their 2023 debut Kairos\, “demonstrating that music can link effortlessly across time\, genres\, and any preconceptions in the hands of the right performers.” (Sammy Stein\, Platinum Mind) This tour is coordinated with the release of their second album\, How the Dust Falls released on Auricle Records. \nDon’t miss two of creative music’s most alchemical duos combining for sublime and unrepeatable sonic shaping. \nMORE: Izumi Kimura and Gerry Hemingway will also participate in TIME FLIES: Night One\, June 26th at Revue Stage. \nThis performance made possible in part due to support from the Swiss Arts Council Pro Helvetia and Culture Ireland. \n

Malcolm is known for his warm\, lyrical sound that traverses the sounds of jazz\, world\, and pop music. \nAs a performer\, Malcolm has shared the stage with notable artists such as Chucho Valdez\, Noel Gallagher (Oasis)\, John Hammond Jr. Steven Page (barenaked ladies)\, Jim Byrnes\, Steve Dawson\, Jimmy Bosch and David Hidalgo (Los Lobos). He has played at major events\, including the 2010 Winter Olympics\, and for distinguished figures like the Dalai Lama and Desmond Tutu. His extensive touring has taken him to Hong Kong\, China\, Mexico\, Japan\, and the Netherlands. \nMalcolm’s music projects include his work with his quartet\, where he has developed a unique sound influenced by jazz\, soul\, and hip hop. His new 2025 album Northburn is a testament to this innovative blend\, featuring deep grooves\, ambient textures\, and vintage synths\, reminiscent of artists like Bob James and Miles Davis\, with modern beats inspired by J Dilla and Flying Lotus.
